São Paulo ratings: Alisson at fault, Luciano’s goal drought continues | OneFootball

São Paulo once again performed very poorly and ended up defeated by Ceará 1-0 on Monday night (29), a day of fan protests at the entrance of Morumbi, in a match for the 25th round of the Brasileirão. In the first game after being eliminated from the Libertadores, nobody performed well, Alisson ended up giving away the ball for the rival's goal, and Luciano extended his goal drought by missing new chances. See the ratings and evaluations:

Rafael – 5.0 – After making an easy save at the start, he had to work hard to catch a good header from the rival at 13 minutes. He was dribbled past for the goal in the second half.

Rafael Tolói – 5.5 – Was doing well with two ball interceptions and almost no wrong passes, but left injured at 30’, feeling discomfort in his thigh, and was already treating it with ice on the bench after feeling it on the field.

Arboleda – 5.0 – Went up at 23’ to head in attack but sent it wide. Had a secure first half at the back with four defensive actions but missed many passes. Received a yellow card at the end and, suspended, will miss the next match.

Alan Franco – 5.0 – Had a hard time with Galeano in the initial minutes. Did well in the first half with some clearances. Did not miss any of the 32 passes attempted. Was substituted at halftime for Lucas in search of victory.

Cédric – 5.0 – Made a beautiful play on the left at the end of the first half, dribbling the marker and crossing with the outside of his foot to Luciano's head, who deflected poorly. No highlights in the second half, was replaced by Maílton.

Alisson – 4.0 – Good movement in the 1st half, providing a game option with few passing errors. Sought a cross into the area at 18’, but did not find Luciano. Was very unfortunate in a clearance towards his own area in the 2nd half, giving away the ball for Ceará's goal.

Bobadilla – 5.0 – Was secure in marking during the first half and distributed the game well, but without great highlights. Regular performance.

Rodriguinho – 4.5 – Started presenting well in attack but made a clumsy switch at 12 minutes. Shortly after, attempted a long shot, but very high and wide. At the end of the initial half, took a rebound in front of the penalty area, shot, the ball deflected off the defense and hit the Ceará crossbar. At 40’, another good chance, and a shot in the middle of the goal. Substituted in the 2nd half by Dinenno.

Enzo Díaz – 5.0 – Was heavily demanded in marking on the left but did well. Also offered himself a lot in attack, with some good crosses.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Luciano – 3.5 – Was too selfish in a play at 31 minutes. Wanted to decide everything alone and, heavily marked, did not pass. At 39’, headed poorly in a good opportunity in the area. A very below-par first half.

Ferreirinha – 5.0 – Tried to play on the right and left of the attack but was very ineffective in the plays he attempted in the 1st half, missing almost everything. Finally woke up to the game and hit the opponent's post in the first minute of the second half, in a great individual play. Was very poor when trying to shoot a good ball served by Lucas. With few flashes, was substituted by Lucca after another weak performance.

Sabino – 5.5 – Had to enter already at 31’ of the first half, replacing the injured Tolói in defense. Deflected a dangerous ball at the end of the initial half. Did well in the match. Already in injury time, contested a play in the area and the referee awarded a penalty. However, after VAR review, it was correctly annulled.

Lucas Moura – 5.5 – Entered at halftime, replacing Alan Franco. Made his first good play escaping on the right, serving Ferreira in the area. Was alert and sprinted in a characteristic play shortly after, being stopped by a foul. Attempted some other plays in individual runs, but lacked someone to accompany him. Gradually regaining the ideal rhythm.

Lucca – 5.0 – Came off the bench in the second half to replace Ferreirinha at 18’ of the second half. Did not manage to create much on the left of the attack.

Maílton – No rating – Replaced Cédric at 24’ of the final stage and did not make much difference.

Dinenno – No rating – Came in for Rodriguinho halfway through the second half and did not touch the ball.

Hernán Crespo – 4.0 – Made some returns to the team after elimination against LDU but kept the base. Had to change the defense due to Tolói's injury still in the 1st half. At halftime, returned with Lucas in place of Alan Franco. Made three more offensive changes but kept Luciano, who was very poor in the match, until the end. Accumulates another defeat, the fourth in a row.
